The Best Web App for Ideas

Pete Cashmore, my boss and our beloved leader, is an Idea Man. Tons of ideas flow between our email and IM chains throughout the course of a day. While I might not be an Idea Man, I certainly have my fair share of ideas, not all of them are winners though. So, a task that I've taken upon myself as COO is to figure out what tool or Web app out there can not only organize our ideas, but also give them some right of passage to approval. I've tried Google Notebook, Zoho Planner, Remember the Milk, Zapproved, Salesforce's Ideas App and a few others here and there.

Unfortunately, my success at finding the perfect Web app for the hundreds of ideas has run dry. Google Notebook lacks email interactivity, ability to approve an idea, and has a severe lack of organization. Zoho Planner was great for a while, but lacks organization and approval. Zapproved is great too, but there is no way to take action after ideas are approved. To clarify what I'm looking for, here are some bullet points.

Items that I need:

- Organization through tags/categories and search- Ability to have a comment chain on a single idea- Ability to have an idea "approved" for future projects

Desired Features:

- Ability to "Clip" pieces of text and/or images from the Web- Email Interactivity (daily updates or able to email in ideas)- Desktop app would be amazing too- iPhone app and/or mobile version- Ability to move an "approved" idea to a categorized list

So to help Mashable move forward, I ask you, our readers for help. What is your favorite app for your ideas?
